ALMOND FLOUR:

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • We use the part-skim mozzarella for a smooth and non-soggy dough and moisture. We should not have to use fresh blocks of mozzarella because they are not as effective as shredded mozzarella.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • We can use the full-fat cream cheese cream cheese for thick and soft dough. We have to use the properly soft cream cheese.

GROUND MEAT:

  • I can use the ground beef meat for a rich, savory filling, but you may also use ground chicken, turkey, or pork, according on your tastes. We just have to make sure the spice is appropriate for the sort of meat.

SAUCES & SPICES:

  • We can tailor the sauces and spices to personal preferences. You can experiment with heat by adding jalapeños or chili flakes, or you can also add herbs like oregano or thyme.

AID-INS

  • You can add chopped onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or shredded cheese to the filling to add more taste and texture. We just have to maintain the moisture content as we can add veggies.
